Their Lycan Queen by Foxtail

Chapter 38

Chapter 38
Noras POV
Darkness, just darkness, no light whatsoever, how boring. Just plain boring, nothing to do except sitting here in the darkness like a .. shadow. No even shadows get to see much more than I do right now.
Sure I did welcome the darkness but this is utterly ridiculous and so so so boring!
“Artemis, where are you? Please, respond if you can hear me” I try to yell but I can’t even hear my echo.
A soft giggle is penetrating the darkness and I sigh in boredom.
“It’s not funny Artemis, stop that otherwise I will do something that you won’t be laughing at” I try to threaten my lycan, I must be a stu pid human to my counterpart. That must be why she left me.
“She didn’t leave you because of that”
Yeah and how do you know that? Wait, are you my subconscious?
“No, my name is Diane”
Like the moon goddess?
“Yes, that is one of the many names I have been called”
I try to turn around to see the person whose voice I hear.
“You can’t see me in the darkness”
Don’t hide in it then.
“Hihi, open your eyes instead and it won’t be dark here”
What, are you dumb, why would I have my eyes closed? But still I try to open my eyes, huh I did have them closed. Strange.
As I open them I am blinded by light so I blink my eyes rapidly. When I can see more clearly we are once again in a forest. Why is it always a forest?
“It’s not just any forest, this is my land”
I turn around to see our famous moon goddess but I almost laugh out loud, no wait I actually do. To think that the mystery moon goddess that we all love and worship is like a five year old kid.
“I am not five years old but yes I did not age anymore than this. I think it’s easier to play around in this form so I often. stay in it” Diane says.
Can you read my mind?
“Yes”
Oh da mn! Am I dead?
“In a way, yes.” Artemis, my daughter died of heartbreak and you with her. So right now you have fulfilled one part of the prophecy, you are in my land right now”

I am dead along with Artemis. Well, I thought it would be less painful and more bliss.

“You are not really dead, this is more like a limbo but just because you are the human that Artemis chose”
You just said I was dead and now I am not, please make up your mind.
“It’s hard to explain, Nora, perhaps Artemis can explain, she is over there with her daughter”
I look up and around and notice my midnight black lycan playing with a smaller wolf, black as night with white paws. Both of them are beautiful.
“Yes they are, walk over there, take this path and don’t stray from the path, Nora”
Don’t stray from the path? The paths are straight, how could I stray from a straight path? But as I turned around I noticed Diane is no longer here.
Whatever. I step on to the path and at once I am flooded with memories, both good and bad. My parents, my friends, my old pack, Daniel, Ben, Linus, Helios and Ares. I miss them, all of them. I continue to walk, trying so hard as not to follow them and stray from the path.
I try to concentrate on Artemis and her daughter, I want to talk to Artemis, I want to meet her daughter. But just as I am about to run over there I hear laughter, a child’s laughter and I stop and look away from the path ahead of me.
Helios is holding a little boy in his arms and they are both waving me over, to come to them. I hesitate, that little boy
|||
looks like both me and Helios, I want that, I want a future with Helios. But where is Ares? I try to look for him but I can’t find him.
I take a deep breath and continue walking away from the little boy in Helios’ arms, I want a future with both my mates. Even if he hurt me by marking Mia, I want Ares, he is my mate.
I scream as I feel a strong grip on my shoulders and I look up to see Artemis. I hug her with all my might.
“Finally, I can hug you now, Nora”
“And I can hug you, Artemis. Wait, am I still on that path?”
“No, while you were thinking of our mates, you was walking straight ahead so I just caught you before you fell down”
“Thank you, I guess. It feels a bit weird, talking with you like this”
“I understand, it feels strange for me to”
I follow Artemis to her daughter and I take a seat on the grass as her daughter comes up to me.
“Hello, Nora.” My name is Aurelie and I am Artemis’ daughter” Aurelie says and bows her head at me.
“Hello Aurelie, you are very beautiful, but aren’t you quite big to be a werewolf?” I say and look at her.
“Yes, but as you can see my mother is quite big too. As I am. the first female werewolf and Artemis’ daughter, I got a midnight black fur as well and I am bigger in size too” she tries to explain even though I don’t get it

“That sounds more like an excuse, daughter” Artemis tilts her head and I smack her on her arm.
“Then what am I going to say then? I am big because I am beautiful then? I sound like a snob” Aurelie says and I giggle.
“You can say that you are bigger than others because you are the first female werewolf and your mother is a legend among lycans” I ponder over the words and notice that both Artemis and Aurelie stare at me.
“What?” I ask
Then I was attacked in a contest of hugging me first, both Artemis and Aurelie were happy with my words.
|||
It feels like I have been in this land for years at the end but I know in my head that I should have been here for just a few minutes, half an hour at most.
“Diane?” What will I do now?” I ask out loud and both Artemis and Aurelie stop with what they are doing and listen to me.
“Well, it’s your choice now, Nora. You can choose to stay here with us or go back to your body but without Artemis.” Diane
answer me
“I won’t be a lycan anymore?” I say confused.
“You never were, Artemis was the lycan, but yes you will be an ordinary human” Diane says and I feel down.
If I am an ordinary human I can’t have a bond to Helios and Ares, I won’t survive them. I sigh and start to cry.
“Wait, Nora’s parents are from the blaze kingdom and the knight kingdom, correct?” Aurelie asks and Artemis nods.
“Nora should have a lycan then, she has inherited the qualities of both of the kingdoms. So you can’t just send her back without a counterpart or she will just die again.”
“Hmm
you are right as always Aurelie, I can’t send her back without a counterpart but then I need someone to volunteer” Diane says and starts to wander around.

I tilted my head and followed her with my eyes and then I noticed them, hundreds and hundreds of lycans and
werewolves. I stand up in awe and look around, all sizes and colors except black.
“Umm Diane, why is only Artemis and Aurelie black in their fur?” I ask and she stops and looks back at me.
“Isn’t it obvious? They are the firsts of their race so of course they are midnight black and the only ones as well” Diane smiles and continues walking around.
A perfectly white werewolf approached me and it took me a second to recognize it, I crouched down and hugged her hard while sobbing.
“I have missed you my friend” I say to Emily’s wolf.
“I have missed you as well, Nora.” she says and licks my cheek. gently.
